Difference Between Floor Plan And Structural Plan In Revit

Hello i cannot understand which is the real difference between making a floor plan and making a structural plan.

Difference between floor plan and structural plan in revit.

Where the architectural drawings will show a floor plan the structural drawings will have the overall concrete slab plan. I just made both of them and the settings look pretty much the same in which plan is better to design. The analytical model consists of those structural components geometry material properties and loads that together form an engineering system. On larger projects duplicate as dependent has a lot of uses.

An analytical model of a structure is comprised of a set of structural member analytical models including one for each element. Once created the callout type cannot be changed. You can create multiple structural plan view types and define the view direction parameter differently for each allowing multiple view directions within a project. P when you create a callout you choose a detail callout or a view callout.

The structural details show what holds the building up. Revit provides for this variation with the view direction type parameter for structural plans. This can be extremely useful if you have a large floor plan and you want to make several views which are cropped to specific regions. The video shows you where the callouts appear in the project browser which is the most obvious difference.

Understanding the difference between the different duplicate views and how they can be used is extremely useful however little used. This video shows you the differences to help you make the right choice.
